[Rhodes22-list] heater in the cabin

Fri Nov 19 14:28:52 EST 2010

The heater idea is for overnighting in a quiet cove during the fall
season away from the dock.  I agree an electric heater makes sense when
at the slip.

Cowie,
Since you have shore power why not use an electric heater?  They are
cheap, simple, effective and stay on until you turn them off.  Plus with
a thermostst they work automatically.  If you do a lot of overnighting
with more than just yourself, I highly recommend you look into the Boom
Room.  No slippery, messy cockpit in the morning.
